Anti-Cop Graffiti Found In South Philadelphia Again: Police

PHILADELPHIA – Anti-police graffiti was found again in the South Philadelphia area, just about a month after similar graffiti was found in the same general area.

According to police, the graffiti was found in the area of 25th and Tasker streets in the Point Breeze area at about 5 p.m. Monday, July 24.

Police said the graffiti contained threats toward police and were written in black spray paint.

NBC10 reports the graffiti said "kill a cop save a life."

"I am angered by the numerous reports of hate speech and discriminatory behavior across Philadelphia today," Mayor Jim Kenney said. "We will use every possible tool at our disposal to find the perpetrators who committed this hateful, illegal behavior and pursue all possible criminal charges against them."

Last month, several homes in the area of the 2100 block of South Bouvier Street were vandalized on June 28.

The vandals in the incident also spray painted "kill a cop save a life," as well as "right to rebel," a Molotov cocktail symbol, and a sickle and hammer symbol.

NBC reports no arrests have been made.
